Well, there you go!

Wow... this is a find.

Still not crazy about the exposed headlamps, but we've been over that...

I'm not happy about the one-slot grille either. Corvette says "split grille" more top me... a single one says "Camaro"

The rear end looks nice... except maybe the blockiness of where the license plate goes...

As with the C5, I'm not too excited....yet. But I will be in time.

As much as those pictures are far and away the best look I've seen, I still need to see it with wheels, lights and glass.

Nice find.

Whoops! Someone slipped up! Mr. Hill is going to be none-to-pleased to see this out before January!

On the split grill....I'm willing to bet they seriously considered it and through out the idea for one reason or another. I guess I'll have to wait for "All Corvettes Are White" to find out why...LOL!!!

The one-slot grille all but guarantees that they'll have to supply bracket to bolt onto the fasica for states requiring a front plate.

I REALLY do not like that.

I agree 100%. They should make allowances for a front plate.

"Well here's your new Corvette! One minute before we give you the keys, we'll have to drill a couple holes in it for the lisensce plate first!"

LOVE the back end, but it'll take me some time to get used to the front..of couse with my beauty scale; the more power it has, the better it looks...600HP+ means to me that this is the finest automotive shape ever crafted...
